So in future, will this iteration of OD&D be known as Wood Box?
It certainly could be. Though, if you look at the comments in that Wired article, Frank Mentzer himself chimed in to say that the first three printings WERE wooden boxes. The white box wasn't until the fourth printing.
Having never laid my hands on an original edition (and not knowing page counts) I'm curious if the price seems reasonable.
Wouldn't the last book be the miniatures rules? Most likely that or Chainmail.
You could be right. The site does say (plus, reference sheets) which, I would hope are just loose and not in a booklet form.
